Draya fires back at Laura Govan
Well, Chile! Draya Michele had some things to say to Laura for raising her. On Wednesday, October 30, Draya took to her Instagram Stories asking why people keep bringing her up when she’s not bothering anyone. “I’m not bothering anyone. Why isn’t anyone bothering me?’ Draya wrote.
Draya Michele went on to explain on her IG Stories that she was sick of being “cyberbullied.”
“First of all, I’m not one to clear things up, but enough is enough. I was cyberbullied for almost 12 months by men and women. And they have remained silent. I don’t care about likes, comments or virality. But if I’m going to be trending, I’m going to be trending today and all fucking day,” Draya wrote.
Michele also clarified her schedule with Gilbert Arenas and called out Laura Govan, insisting that Laura’s allegations don’t add up. “Timelines are not timelines. And I feel sorry for people who can’t understand that,” Draya said.
Draya clarified that she has never messed with anyone’s husband, although Laura accuses her of hooking up with Gilbert Arenas. Draya emphasized that neither was married at the time and stated that she dated Gilbert Arenas for “years” before joining “Basketball Wives LA.” The TV star also said she didn’t know Laura or her sister before the show, insisting Laura calling her “friend” during the interview was a stretch. She also indicated that she joined the show as a friend of Gloria, Laura Govan’s sister, but still has no idea who Laura is.
While addressing Laura’s comments, Draya made it clear that she never goes online to attack anyone, but will always share her side of the story.
“I certainly don’t blame the woman in every situation where I’m owed a little respect by my man. I don’t go online and tell my side of the story often because I respect the fact that it’s only my side. I give grace to many people by keeping quiet and not sharing,” Draya continued.
Draya Michele also hinted that if she had any “dirty laundry” the reality TV show would have aired because her storyline “carried” the show.
“I hope you’re reading this in a tone that is of a strong woman coming back to the internet defending herself. And not a victim. I am never a victim. I am a winner. Now if you’ll excuse me. I’m going to go back to my very normal multi-faceted, non-reality TV life. Thank you.”
She also urged everyone to get out and vote, specifically for Vice President Kamala Harris.
Here’s what Laura Govan had to say about Draya
Laura Govan spilled the tea while talking to Carlos King on his podcast. She confirmed that she and Gilbert never married but have four children after 12 years together. Govan told Carlos that he knew Draya and Gilbert were hooking up, but he didn’t realize Draya was his “jump” on “Basketball Wives LA.”
Eventually, she discovers that Gilbert allegedly gave Draya $25,000 and brought her to Los Angeles. Govan then recalled how she confronted Draya while filming for the show after discovering documents from Gilbert, leading to an argument between them. She also revealed that the incident was not aired on “Basketball Wives LA” because they allegedly didn’t want it to air.
“I remember I wasn’t supposed to take a picture and I went past everyone and beat the hell out of her. And it didn’t air. They didn’t want that air. I beat the hell out of Draya. I think I picked her up by the **** and collarbone and threw her. And then I spat on her,” Laura said.
Laura explained that she felt betrayed because they were friends and Draya was helping her with social media. She then expressed that she believed she should be confronted because Draya knew about her involvement with Gilbert but was still after him.
